Govoni · 05-21-2017, 06:52 AM

Because Olivia wasn't exactly comfortable with doing the activity in the first place, she felt it would be best to just keep to herself on it. So that she didn't accidentally offend anyone. It would work out perfectly, considering she had the one... and for the others? The blonde would make a few up. It wasn't the most ideal solution, but one she could accomplish on her own.

Carefully sketching out the template Professor Vance had used for her own moles, the blonde started flipping through the pages in her book. Well, at first...only to turn around and go back to the index to look for the right chapter. Normally, she would've lazily perused, but this class wasn't that long. So. Best to cut right to it.

Ah, there it was.

Finally landing on the RIGHT chapter, Liv started filling in the info for her star-shaped beauty mark. Hm, after getting that written out, she took the time to make up a few. Randomly, she began writing; think of her belly-button and neck. They were as good a place as any, right? So, one of the made up marks would be placed just below the navel, and the other....would be on the side of the neck. But the latter would be a mole. Not a standard beauty mark. Skimming the chapter, it didn't appear to matter between the two. The predictions would be the same....Or maybe she wasn't reading the text...in the right way? Universal meanings for these things...

Not going to lie, Divination stuff confused her so much sometimes. It was abundantly clear Olivia didn't possess a third eye, or whatever it was called. THE GREAT INNER EYE. Ho de hum. With a hunch of additional scribbling, the Gryffindor tried to work out the meanings for all three marks (real and made up, alike), but apparently the fact that the mark was star shaped didn't mean anything special? That was a disappointment, as she'd thought different shapes might mean something. Alas... THOUGH, the textbook did give information about the Zodiac signs and which areas they held domain over, which was awesome! Livvy loved the zodiac (which would've killed her old Head of House, Professor Flamsteed, but...)

With the standard, condense meanings in parentheses (and correlating star signs), she scrunched her nose up in disinterest. The more theoretical lessons were such a chore for her to endure, as she liked to get up and move around. Even if her knees had started bothering her again.

Quote:

Name: Olivia Lynn Phillips
House: Gryffindor
Year: Fifth

Moles located
• Star-shaped birthmark on my right hip. (lively intelligence which leads to strong opinions)
• [made up] Irregular birthmark just below the belly button. (Intelligent, popular with relatives and friends, hardworking and very attractive)
• [made up] A mole on the right-side of the neck. (sometimes indicate a short life, with the possibility of being highly stressed out)

There. Now to add predictions... How was she supposed to come up with those again?

Welp, when in doubt, make something up. That was her personal motto. The show must go on and all that. Let's see... The Ilvermorny kids were coming, so... maybe her first mark had a little something to do with her attitude towards them? It definitely wasn't a secret that Liv held strong opinions on most things. So, this was something she would've bought about herself. Maybe they were a particularly smelly, stinky bunch? Or maybe they were just as stupidly attractive as everyone was here at Hogwarts, only adding to her current angst and uncertainty. MAYBE... they would be more theatrical than she was?! Well, Rooney was, but that was different. These would be outsiders................... What if they didn't like her?

Her brain was dumb and was only making her freak out about stuff that hadn't even happened yet.

Quickly jotting down stuff pertaining to her family, friends, and OWLs, Olivia blew at the wet ink. Was it painfully obvious that she wasn't taking this too seriously? Guh, why couldn't they have another lesson like with the archery stuff? Now, THAT...had been a blast.

Moles located

Predictions
Friday
With the incoming American kids, I'll have some attitude about certain aspects of either their personalities or looks? Or maybe whoever gets chosen as their competitors won't be that impressive? OR MAYBE they'll be too attractive to exist, which might make me more irritable and opinionated towards them. (doesn't really think so but needs to write something down for this assignment) By the same token, maybe this will apply to the Hogwarts competitors, as well. I hope whoever gets picked will slay.

Saturday
I'll make very good decisions where my family members are concerned and will possibly make up with my mother. I'll also do something that earns praise among my peers. (for the record, I don't really do anything for other people's praise. that's not the way to be happy in life). Also, my skin will be really amazing that day (maybe)

Sunday
OWLs will continue to stress me out as I realize I'm really behind with my exam prep. This has actually be true for a while, as I've been experiencing some anxiety about not being prepared enough. Maybe I'll suffer another mental break, as I have been feeling on the verge lately.
